What is the best way to give a user admin rights on any workstation
they will login to but not admin rights on the domain?
I am thinking about putting them in group administrators, but I am
afraid that will give them admin rights on the domain.
Thank you
Restricted Groups is your best option.
Restricted Groups
(You'll need to do this from an XP machine)
Going on memory... forgive me if I missed a step...
In D, create an OU and call it Restricted Groups (or whatever you want to call it)
In AD, create a group and call it Local Power Users Group
Create another and call it Local Admin Users Group
Logon as domain admin on an XP machine
Install the GPMC on an XP machine
Open the GPMC and navigate to the OU you created above
Create and link a new GPO to the OU
Right-click on it and choose Edit
Navigate to the Computer section, and Restricted Groups
Choose new group, browse to the domains' Local Power Users Group and add it to the local XP machine's groups, and choose Power Users
Choose new group, browse to the ldomain's Local Admin Users Group and add it to the local XP machine's groups and choose Administrators
Move the computer to the OU
Add the user to the Local Power Users Group in AD that you created above
On the machine where the user is logged on, have him logoff and logon
May have to have him do it twice
In the XP's computer Management console, look at the Local Power Users and Administrators Groups and see if the Domain\Local Power Users Group is added to the machine's local Power Users group and the Local Admin Users Group is added to the machine';s local Administrators group. If so, they will show up as grayed out, meaning the policy is working. If you added the user to the domain's Local Power Users Group, then the user should now be able to perform actions of a Power User.
